GtsObjectClass

typedef struct {
  GtsObjectClassInfo info;
  GtsObjectClass * parent_class;

  void        (* clone)      (GtsObject *, GtsObject *);
  void        (* destroy)    (GtsObject *);
  void        (* read)       (GtsObject **, GtsFile *);
  void        (* write)      (GtsObject *, FILE *);
  GtsColor    (* color)      (GtsObject *);
  void        (* attributes) (GtsObject *, GtsObject *);
} GtsObjectClass;

The base object class structure. All the virtual functions clone, destroy, read and write can be overloaded. The default read and write methods are undefined. The default clone method just copies the object structure. The default destroy method frees the memory allocated for a given object structure.

GtsObject

typedef struct {
  GtsObjectClass * klass;

  gpointer reserved;
  guint32 flags;
} GtsObject;

The base object structure.

GtsObjectClassInfo

typedef struct {
  gchar name[GTS_CLASS_NAME_LENGTH];
  guint object_size;
  guint class_size;
  GtsObjectClassInitFunc class_init_func;
  GtsObjectInitFunc object_init_func;
  GtsArgSetFunc arg_set_func;
  GtsArgGetFunc arg_get_func;
} GtsObjectClassInfo;

Informations about a GtsObjectClass, including name, size of the object structure to be allocated when constructing the object, size of the object class structure to be allocated when instanciating the object class, class initialization function, object initialization function.

GtsObjectClassInitFunc ()

void        (*GtsObjectClassInitFunc)       (GtsObjectClass *objclass);

A function to call to initialize an object class.

GtsObjectInitFunc ()

void        (*GtsObjectInitFunc)            (GtsObject *obj);

A function to call to initialize an object.

GtsArgSetFunc ()

void        (*GtsArgSetFunc)                (GtsObject *obj);

Defined for future use.

GtsArgGetFunc ()

void        (*GtsArgGetFunc)                (GtsObject *obj);

Defined for future use.

enum GtsObjectFlags

typedef enum
{
  GTS_DESTROYED         = 1 << 0,
  GTS_USER_FLAG         = 1 /* user flags start from here */
} GtsObjectFlags;

GtsColor

typedef struct {
  gfloat r, g, b;
} GtsColor;

gts_object_class ()

GtsObjectClass* gts_object_class            (void);

gts_object_class_new ()

gpointer    gts_object_class_new            (GtsObjectClass *parent_class,
                                             GtsObjectClassInfo *info);

gpointer    gts_object_class_is_from_class  (gpointer klass,
                                             gpointer from);

gts_object_class_from_name ()

GtsObjectClass* gts_object_class_from_name  (const gchar *name);

gts_object_new ()

GtsObject*  gts_object_new                  (GtsObjectClass *klass);

gts_object_init ()

void        gts_object_init                 (GtsObject *object,
                                             GtsObjectClass *klass);

Calls the init method of klass with object as argument. This is done recursively in the correct order (from the base class to the top). You should rarely need this function as it is called automatically by the constructor for each class.

gts_object_clone ()

GtsObject*  gts_object_clone                (GtsObject *object);

Calls the clone method of object. The call to this function will fail if no clone method exists for the given object.

void        gts_object_attributes           (GtsObject *object,
                                             GtsObject *from);

Calls the attributes() method of object using from as source.

gts_object_check_cast ()

gpointer    gts_object_check_cast           (gpointer object,
                                             gpointer klass);

gts_object_is_from_class ()

gpointer    gts_object_is_from_class        (gpointer object,

gts_object_reset_reserved ()

void        gts_object_reset_reserved       (GtsObject *object);

Reset the reserved field of object.

gts_object_destroy ()

void        gts_object_destroy              (GtsObject *object);

Calls the destroy method of object, freeing all memory allocated for it.

gts_finalize ()

void        gts_finalize                    (void);

Free all the memory allocated by the object system of GTS. No other GTS function can be called after this function has been called.
